If it excludes strings and leads, I could do nine years. I’m totally happy with my MarkBass amplification and my MM Stingray, had them for years, nothing barring them falling apart would warrant me replacing them. If it’s anything relating to my motorcycle, then that’s another matter.

That’s probably why he’s know as “BIG” Al 😀

Looks like you will be busy, considering what’s currently happening.

I remember playing a gig at a village pub many years ago and we had already played two encores, the punters were adamant that we played Black Dog again, so they passed a glass around to get us to do it. Not bad, that one song earned us just over £50 when we checked the contents of the glass.

No problem👍

We could possibly set up a crowdfund and send Mr Cgull on a weeks holiday to -

You put a vid up on the thread, expect to get positive comments as well as the negative ones. 🤔

Personally sounds no different to the many in fashion breathy female vocalists around at the moment. ☹️

Our old keyboard player Russ is doing well, now with Austin Gold, doing albums and big venues/festivals.

Dave Stewart, that brings back some old prog memories, seen him play in the band called Egg, 29th February 1972, I’m pretty sure he was also in the band Khan.

They are on the news again.

That’s still over £390 for two tickets ☹️

This is my beef, top dollar ticket prices for what will most probably be well below par vocals, I think the other guys in the band will be on top form.

I have absolutely no issues with him not drumming or sitting in a chair front of stage, what I do have an issue with is the vocal quality. Some of the older performers just do not know when to give up/retire, it’s sad to see them performing as a shadow of their former selves, this is a reason why a lot of the high end tribute bands do so well, it’s like listening to the performance as it used to be. There is one particular vocalist who is seventy and I have no hesitation in purchasing tickets for his tours, as I know his vocals are totally on point, that’s Paul Rodgers.

There’s plenty of other examples on YouTube from that tour, I just happened to choose that one.

As much as I really enjoy early and later Genesis and Phil Collins, I cannot see the proposed tour being enjoyable, Phil has lost his voice with age and other problems, it’s not good. I would assume the ticket prices will be high, for a below par performance, certainly would not be worth it. Here is a clip of Phil Collins tour from last year, the vocals (pardon the pun) speak for themselves.

I’m fairly certain the volume of cases in the U.K. will rise, but to put it into perspective, we currently have 35 confirmed cases in a population of 66 million.

Agree with you there, but a lot weren’t doing it justice, mainly as others have mentioned on here, the drummers letting it down, missing out the fills etc.

Rumur came pretty close.

Video won’t play.

It’s definitely in our set.

I’m not demoralised by them, as I’m pretty sure if you put a large majority of them in a live band situation, they would be totally sh*gged. There is a big difference to playing alone in your bedroom/music room and getting to gel with other musicians on stage.
